The Flood at Bismarck.

BISMARCK, March 22.-The Missouri
fell about twelve inches last night. and
this morning stood at the high water
mark of 1881. Railroad managers and
passengers we're congratulating themselves
on the prospect for relief, when the waters
began to rise again and have risen a foot
since morning. The rise at this point
over a body of water six miles in width is
marvellous, when it is considered that all
gorges and local floods were supposed to
have passed. 1t is almost a miracle and
no one seems able to account for the action
OF the river, unless that the warm weather
is melting the ice to produce the rise. The
train from the East was delayed twenty
minutes this afternoon by the rise in
Apple creek, three miles east of this
point. If the water IN the creek rises
much more it will be impossible for trains
to come to Bismarck, as the water at that
point will put out the fires. There is no
longer any doubt of the drowning of the
Jackson family at Painted Woods. The
family consisted of father, mother and
two children.

something Now in Clocks.

A self winding clock is one Of the
novelties in this market. One would
naturally think that a self winding clock
would come pretty near TO q solution of
the problem of perpetual motion, but it
doesn't. The self winding clock may be
locked up and left untouched for more
than a year, and it will run right along
without appreciate variation, and, tbs
said, keep better time than "a commoI
clock that is often regulated. In the
self winder the winding is performed
every hour by an electric battery cor
cealed within the case, and it is reason
ably claimed that this frequent and auto
matte action averts overwinding and
running down, evils which are largely
responsible for the variations of ordinary
timepicces. Sci: winding clocks cost all
the way from S27.50 to $3.50.
The inventor of this clock says he can
connect by a wire all the clocks in the
stations on a railway between New York
and Chicago, or between any other cities,
SO that II simple touch on an electrical
instrument in one city will set all the
clocks to the same time. without Il
seconds difference being left between
any two of them. If this fertile in
ventor will now devise some means of
keeping the watches carried by engineers
and conductors of freight trains always
within two or three seconds of true time
he will confer a still further blessing
UPON his railway collision abhorring
fellow men.-Chicago Herald.

Attempted Murder.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, March 22.-An at
tempt was made tonight upon the life of
Representative George S. Bailey, Labor
member of Fast St. Louis, by some un-
known person. Mr.. Bailey was returning
to his boarding house and was in the act
of stepping upon the porch leading to the
door when he was fred upon by a person
who was concealed behind a corner of
the house. The revolver used was a
t~hirty-two caliber, and tho ball went
through Mr.. Bailey's overcoat, piercing a
morocco covered memorandum book in
the pocket of an undercoat and lodging in
a book similar to the one pierced by the
ball. Mr.. Bailey says that he has no
theory concerning the shooting; the fact
of his having been one of the parties to a
resolution condemning two Labor mem
members of the legislature for acting as
pail bearers at Mrs. Neebes' funeral, is
attributed by some as the cause.

The Emperor's Day.

BERLIN, March 22.-The ninetieth an
niversary of Emperor Williams birthday
was ushered in by the pealing of bells in
all churches and the tower of the town
hall, and sounding of the choaal. The
city is decorated as it never was before;
gariands, flags, %laurels, f%estoons of ever
greens, banners. bright drapery and bril-
liant carpets, are hung on every conspic-
uous spot where ornaments can be made
to add to the joyous appearance of the
town. Conspicuous by the extreme ele-
gance of their decorations are the royal
academy and university buildings, and
the city residence of the Crown Prince
Frederick William. The monument of
Frederick the Great is covered with
wreaths and flowers; wherever there is a
bust or statue of the emperor in a shop
window or other exposed place, it is buried
in flowers. The people are all u in hol-
iday attire and the streets are thronged.
Early in the day special memorial religious
services were held in the churches.
At the afternoon reception the emperor,
after receiving the congratulations of the
royal family and princely guests, with the
empress by his side and surrounded by
the full court, formally announced the
betrothal of Prince Henry, second son of
Crown Prince Frederick William. to
Princess Irene of Hesse.

The ParneIlites Determined.

LONDON, March 22.-Though neither
Mr.. Smith nor Nh. Balfour rave any ex-
plicit statement of the governments Irish
measures to-day, an analysis of their
speeches discloses the fact that a definite
policy has been decided upon and fully
elaborated, covering all legislation for Ire
land that the government will ever con-
sent to propose. The programme will
open with the coercion bill conjointed
with the tenants relief bill to be intro
duced in the house Of lords next week.
The relief proposals will consist of giving
tenants power 10 stay evictions by declar-
ing their inability to pay full rent, wiping
out the claim by a surrender to the bank
ruptcy court. A grand measure for land
purchase will follow. This measure is
now known to be based upon'Mr. Cham
b%erlain's land bank scheme. If the gov
eminent should be defeated at any point
in the development of their policy they
will not resign but will appeal to the
country.
The confident tone of Ministerialists
confirms the generally accepted report
that Chamberlain and Lord Harrington
approve the final structure.
The Parnellites are eager to fight at
every stage, but they find the Gladston-
lans reluctant to support them. Instead
of contesting the urgency motion to the
utmost extremity, Gladstonian whips,
without consulting the Parnellitcs, to-
night arranged with the government whips
to divide on the Morley amendment on
Thursday, thus opening a road to the
passage Of the coercion bill before the
Easter recess. Parnellites are disposed to
disregard the whips and are arranging to
continue the struggle independently.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Col. La
mont, in conversation to-day, in regard to
the presidents health, showed that the
fears recently expressed by DR.. Somers,
are not shared by the presidents family
and his intimate friends. The president,
Col. Lamont said, was to all appearances
in perfect health. He did not think DR..
Sewers was in a position to Judge of the
matter, as he did not know the president,
and what he said was, in the %colonel's
opinion, based merely on assumption thai
the president was gaining flesh and took
no exercise. This was not the case. As
a matter of fact, he continued, the presi.
dent weighs less than when he came TO
Washington, and really takes as much
exercise as most other men. 1t is true,
he does not walk about the city, but he
frequently walks in the country, and
there are other ways in which he gets ex.
ercise. The colonel added that altogether
the president is in good condition and
there is no reason for apprehension in re-
gard to his health.
